Bring the fun to your backyard with this Patriot III All Cedar Swingset. This swing set features an awesome upper clubhouse, a two level play deck a sand box, four swings, a ten foot slide, a rock wall and bonus monkey bars.

This play-set came in 1 million pieces. So, be prepared to spend at least a week putting this together. But, all the pieces come marked and we had every last piece. Its a good looking and sturdy set. The color has kept up well, too. We have had it for almost 2 years now and the kids still love it. This set has everything and looks great in the backyard. If you are going to buy something, buy this...but maybe pay the extra to have help putting it together!

Was looking for (a while!) for a swing set that had (besides swings), a rock wall, 10 foot slide (not 8 foot), monkey bars and wooden seating and picnic table (didn't want metal seats as some are) and a wooden roof (not vinyl) and the Patriot III had it all!
Could not beat the price for all of the above.
It was a giant puzzle, took a couple weekends, fits our yard perfectly as we were able to swap the rock wall and slide from how picture shows it.
3 year old son LOVEs it, I enjoy hanging out in it too with him, sturdy, beautiful and lots of fun. Did come with the pole for the spiral slide that came with the Patriot I but no big deal.
The only bummer, but knew this before I bought it, is that there is no cover for the sandbox and a tarp isn't the best solution, so working on that.
Otherwise the set gets played on nearly everyday and with all the accessories and 10 foot slide I expect we'll be enjoying it for many years to come.

Wow... it's great! Strong Sturdy and SOLID! Need to pay careful attention to the directions, I needed to disassemble a few peices after they were put on backwards or updside down.. but once it was completely assembled, it is very strong, great quality and a great deal!

My dad and husband put this together in two full days. They had no complaints of missing pieces or inaccurately placed predrilled holes. After researching and reading countless reviews I'm glad we chose this set. You can't beat it for the price. The day after Christmas our area had severe thunderstorms that spun off a few tornadoes. The swing set held up fine, unlike some of the $700 sets from Toys R Us (based on customer reviews). Very pleased with this set and I even looked at some $3k sets.

This took 2 men 4 full days, 30+ hours to complete. READ instructions fully before beginning. We discovered extra directions for a different model included in our packaging which caused a lot of confusion and delay in the overall completion. We also came up 6 screws short during the final steps of the slide installation. These screws are not available at your local stores and had to be ordered directly from the manufacturer, which were received within 3 business days, free of charge.
The set is very adorable, attractive and FUN! The 2 story playhouse is darling and the picnic nook is perfect for my 6 and 3 year old. The monkey bars are high and wide, so an extra fun challenge for the older child, with room to grow! I would guess this would be appropriate for children up to 10 years old.
Price is really amazing for all you get!

I'm about 1/3 to almost 1/2 way finished with putting this swing set together and so far I have to say I'm very impressed. I'm at 10 hours and it's just myself doing it. This includes inventorying everything. If it takes me 30 or 40 hours, I'm fine with that... I'm spending time with my little ones during the process!
It was shipped in 3 large boxes, 1 smaller box (monkey bars), and of course the slide (one piece like the other reviewer mentioned). Received it within a couple weeks of ordering. It was packed very well and I found no damaged pieces at all. I took a complete inventory of everything, including hardware and was pleased that I had absolutely everything (according to inventory sheets). I even cross referenced the inventory with the parts list in the manual and it all checked out. The directions should be followed closely, but are well written and well illustrated. What's illustrated is exactly what you see when you walk up to the set to install another piece. For the amount of pieces and size of this set, I really feel it was engineered very well. Another reviewer mentioned the quality was not worth the money. I disagree. I spent a lot of time looking at sets (expensive and cheap) and realized this set was a very good value for its size and activity level compared to others. Definitely a decent set priced fairly. Sure, you can get a higher quality set for much, much more, but you're paying much, much more. I'm glad I saved my money. I"m well into putting this together and I feel it's going to be very sturdy and should last quite a few years. I'm the type of person that will spend more money for better quality if it's necessary. This set is fine so one might as well save themselves some cash. This kids are only going to play on it so long anyway.
A few more thoughts that might help someone decide. I thought about buying a used one, tear it down and put back up. However, there's just too many pieces and you already have to spend a lot of time putting something up, let alone first take it down too. Also, I'm glad I got cedar. I was going to build a simpler version myself, however between the wood (just ACQ pressure treated lumber) and hardware I was already at 3/4 of the cost of this one easily. I would have been at cost or more. At least this one is all precut nicely, already stained, supplied with exact and well thought out directions, and is all cedar wood, which is very expensive. Even redwood is very expensive.
Good luck in your decision!

We just ordered this swing set about 2 weeks ago and it is already sitting in our garage! The shipping was exceptionally fast for such a large item. We haven't put the swingset together yet (when we do, I will revise my review) but I wanted to comment right away about something I noticed in the product. The slide that came with the set is not the slide in the picture. It is actually the slide that comes with the highlander swingset. This is actually good news because the slide is in one piece unlike the slide that was supposed to come with the set. Also, it is very deep so I don't have to worry about my little ones tumbling off the side. Just thought I would mention this because some reviews on other sites complain about the quality of the slide. Hope this helps!

This is a great product for the price. It is high quality materials and very sturdy. It does take about 30 man hours to assemble but that's just because there are so many pieces. We are extremely pleased with this purchase.

Questions & Answers

"Saw that another person asked about switching the slide and the climbing wall - is that an option that can be done safely? Could you remind me that that would make the overall footprint/dimensions? Thanks!"

We didn't recieve either the twisty slide or the slide from the picture. We recieved a straight slide but much thicker and sturdier than the slide in the picture with only three holes to mount it. We had our pick of extra hardware so with the ways the holes lined up over the desk joyces we just used an appropriate length barrel nut and bolt in two holes then a lag screw in the third because it was centered over a joyce. If your holes line up over open planks than I would use a bolt and nut for best security.

"What would the dimensions of the set be if I were to switch the slide and the rock wall? I have a space that is 24x24. There is much more space beyond that but the 24x24 space is the designated area for the swing set that has pebbles/rocks."

Hello, stokermom. Hope your day is going well. The Patriot III fort floor is 3.3x4.1 feet and the sandbox is 3.9x4.1 feet. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

I have to disagree with lidu2013, this set is very sturdy... I just finished assembling mine and I have an 8 year old who enjoy's playing on it without issue... also I'm 165 pounds and the set supports my weight just fine and doesn't move when I 'play' on it with my kids:-) Age range shold say 3-35

"Hello. I purchase this swingset and it is presently being shipped to me. Is the manual for this playset (Patriot III) available online somewhere so I can download it? I'd like to take a good look at it ahead of time. Thanks so much!"

Hi kevb6443, the Backyard Discovery Patriot III All Cedar Swingset Includes Bonus Monkey Bars has an awesome upper clubhouse with second level sun porch. Down below there's a two-level play deck / sand box and a picnic table. A standard ladder and solid rock wall allow climbing to be both easy or challenging. The 10' slide is fast and fun! There are two belt swings and a two-person glider so four can swing at once. The slide and rock wall positions can be swapped for smaller yards. A great swing set with raised clubhouse, lower playdeck, 10' speedy slide and lots more!

Thank you for contacting us, all of our sets are sold after they are safety tested. The safety test is done when the set is assembled exactly as designed. ASTM tests them too. To make a change to a set is to remove the “safety-tested” designation off of the set. I can’t say whether it is or is not safe to not install the monkey bar. What I can say is that all of the “appendages” that connect to the fort are there for stabilization. They are like legs to balance the set. Take one leg away and it “might” work, or it “might” not. When we’re dealing with kids, the word “might” is not very safe. Please let us know if you have any further question.
